    Will these loans never be recovered?

    Will these loans never be recovered?
    Credits:
  • SBI's write-off of bad loans to the AUCA are basically undertaken by banks as a NPA reduction strategy.

    The 'write-off' per se is a technical accounting entry; the fundamental purpose of which is clean-up of the balance sheet as the loan is no longer a 'normal asset.'

    The loan is now merely a 'bad debt' whose recovery process will continue in parallel until resolved.

    What happens after loans are 'written-off'?

    What happens after loans are 'written-off'?
    Credits:
  • Banks resort to writing-off loans when all avenues for recovery and restructuring have been exhausted.

    The write-off of doubtful and bad assets by banks leads to an improvement in the NPA ratios.

    Write-offs of NPAs basically allow banks to get tax deductions from the loan value.

    The loans however continue to remain as assets in the bank's books.

  • Quote

    SBI's Arundhati Bhattacharya's statement

  • In response to 'write-off' of loans, Bhattacharya said, "It is only accounting entry. That does not change anything. To impute otherwise is to unnecessarily malign the banks. The words "write-off" are technical terms and used in layman's way of understanding these words is completely misleading."
